Okay I’m SO excited to share this one
🩷 Girls Club of San Joaquin is officially here!

Balduzzi Pediatrics is now an official Annie Wolf chapter — bringing their “Growing Up Celebrated” curriculum straight to Stockton.

This one’s for girls in 3rd-5th grade. Four 90-minute classes covering:
✨ Puberty & body changes
✨ Female anatomy & reproductive health (basic male anatomy)
✨ Emotions & friendships
✨ Body positivity & self-esteem
✨ Kindness, confidence & resilience

And no, this is NOT a sex-ed class. It’s a judgment-free space where girls can ask the questions they’re too shy to ask anywhere else, taught by me.

If you’re interested, go to my website under Classes and fill out the Girls Club interest form. “Get on the list” so you’re notified when the next round opens up!

Growing up should be celebrated, not dreaded 💛

Yep another class 🩷 I didn’t want to leave out the littles. Safe@home is a certified class for boys and girls in 3rd-5th grade. It covers how to avoid unsafe home situations, what to do if the power goes out, or they get a burn or cut or nose bleed. And really overall gives your kid confidence and you peace of mind knowing they know how to be safe while you are gone. Then when they are older they can come@back for my safe Sutter class to learn CPR!
If I get a group will offer as soon as 2 weeks!

🗣️ HOW TO HAVE BEHAVIOR CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR KIDS

When your child’s behavior needs to be addressed, how you have the conversation matters just as much as what you say.

A few things to keep in mind:

⏰ Don’t do it in the heat of the moment.
When everyone is upset, brains aren’t ready for problem-solving. Calm first. Talk second.

❤️ Connect before you correct.
Start with curiosity instead of accusation:
“What was going on for you?”
“Help me understand what happened.”

🎯 Talk about the behavior—not the child.
“You made an unsafe choice” feels very different from “You’re being bad.”

👂 Listen more than you lecture.
You may learn that the behavior came from frustration, embarrassment, anxiety, impulsivity, or simply not knowing what to do differently.

🧠 Ask what they could do next time.
The goal isn’t just to make kids feel bad about what happened. It’s to teach them what to do differently when it happens again.

🛠️ Problem-solve together.
“What can we do to make this right?”
“What would help you handle this differently next time?”

🚫 Skip the giant lecture.
Longer conversations aren’t necessarily better conversations. Keep it calm, clear, and age appropriate.

And remember: discipline means teaching.

The goal of a behavior conversation isn’t to win an argument or make your child feel guilty. It’s to help them build the skills to make a better choice next time

Pediatricians can tell a lot from a sound. A good crying kid is a good thing. I worry when kids are quiet and not crying.
I always say a video is worth a thousand words when it comes to breathing stuff.

I couldn’t help but do it. “Free time is unacceptable” 😂😂

🦟 MOSQUITO BITES: Why do some kids react SO much?!

Mosquito bites can look surprisingly dramatic in kids! Redness, swelling, warmth, and itching are all part of the body’s reaction to proteins in mosquito saliva.

Some kids develop large local reactions. The swelling can become several inches wide and may even involve most of an arm, leg, hand, or foot. It can look alarming, but it doesn’t automatically mean the bite is infected.

What helps?
• Wash the area with soap and water
• Apply a cold compress
• Try 1% hydrocortisone cream for itching
• An age-appropriate oral antihistamine can help with significant itching/swelling
• Keep fingernails short—scratching is what often leads to infection!

🚩 Call your pediatrician if:
Redness or pain is getting significantly worse after 2–3 days, the area becomes increasingly tender, there is drainage/pus, red streaking develops, or your child develops a fever or seems sick.

And yes… some kids really are mosquito magnets. 🦟😩

Your kid is sick AGAIN?! 🤧

Yep. And it can be completely normal.

When kids first start school or daycare, their immune system suddenly meets a whole lot of new viruses. It’s not unusual to see about 1 cold/viral illness a month during that first year—sometimes even more during fall and winter.

And because a cough or runny nose can hang around for 2 weeks, it can honestly feel like they’re sick all. the. time.

The good news? As their immune system gets more experienced, those illnesses usually become less frequent.

First year of school = first year of germ school, too. 🦠🎒
